Requests for amendments to the text of the land use code or amendments to the official map are requests for legislative actions. The actions of the planning commission in recommending for or against requested amendments is legislative and policy-making in nature. An applicant who is a property owner does not have a right to a requested amendment, but has only the right to have the application heard by the planning commission and, if a timely request is filed upon a rejection by the planning commission, to have an ordinance that would implement the requested amendment transmitted to the city council for its consideration for rejection or introduction and hearing. The requirement for planning commission hearings is to provide an opportunity for broad public input and does not create a due process right in the applicant or a property owner. The requirements for findings, support and reasons is for the purpose of communicating the commission rationale for the policy decision it made or followed in taking its action on the applications. The lack of findings, support or reasons does not invalidate a planning commission action under this chapter. The requirements for hearings, findings, support and reasons do not change the nature or substance of the proceeding under this chapter from legislative to quasi-judicial or quasi-administrative.
